Memoria (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2021)

I guess this was well made, but it was not for me at all. Just incredibly tedious, which I guess was the point.

 

This would have been so fun to see with an unsuspecting audience.

 

One of the major 2021 works I am dying to see. Would prefer a theater but I haven’t kept up with the release

 

I caved for the torrent. It is never going to come here.

 

How is it?

 

It's great. Every one of his films is incredible in its own way. The ending reveal of what is causing the sound has upset some people, but this is a guy who had a catfish perform oral sex on a woman so I don't know what they were expecting

 

I’m trying to catch up to seeing all his work. Only seen Uncle Boonmee and Cemetery of Splendor thus far and they are both transcendently beautiful films.

 

Yeah this is really great and second only to Drive My Car for 2021 movies for me. Fortunate to have seen it in theaters twice now given how horrendously Neon fumbled the bag. A second watch is almost required imo: the first time I just allowed myself to be subsumed in the sheer vibe and then the second time gave me more space to pay attention to the themes, which I found to be pretty consistent with Apichatpong's other stuff, the idea of the universe being this entirely shared conscience and stuff like that

 

they like it. cool

 

No amount of praise can do it enough justice.

 

Hopefully seeing this tomorrow afternoon.

 

Definitely wasn’t expecting that reveal from him for some reason, but loved it.

What a film.

 

Is this streaming?/Where can I watch this?

 

If you believe Neon they are never releasing it for home viewing but the leak happened.

 

I’m obsessed with this guy’s films but they’re hard to find. I’ve only seen two so far. I’m not really one to seek out leaked films but it might be hard to resist when it comes to Weerasethakul.

 

Check your local library and if they don't have it see if they can borrow it for you from another library. Got my hands on Blissfully Yours and Tropical Malady that way

 

I am shocked Criterion Channel doesn't have more of his work.

 

Pretty sure Mubi has featured some of his stuff before

 

Is there a reason why he makes his films so inaccessible? Or is it not him and just the system that makes them inaccessible?

 

Have you seen Uncle Boonmee? That’s still available on a few apps, if I’m not mistaken. A masterpiece of a movie.

 

Finally getting to see this this weekend and glad I didn't cave and watch the copy that's been on my hard drive for 6+ months

 

That was such a cool film.

The ending was beyond unexpected, really cool for a movie like this to actually give an explicitly answer haha

 

well made and very cool but i have no clue what i just watched
